Solitary bastle, 10.5m long x 6.5m wide. Byre entrance at gable end (Ryder 1986).
The farm of Kirkhaugh lies low on the west side of the valley of the South Tyne. A detached farmbuilding range to the north east incorporates a bastle (Kirkhaugh II). The bastle measures 10.6m by 6.4m externally, with later additions at each end. At the time of survey the interior of the building was full of hay. Visible features are a square-headed and chamfered doorway in the centre of the west wall, with an odd rectangular cavity (perhaps a quenching hole?) above, and a splayed loop in the centre of the east end. There is a later barn doorway in the centre of the north wall, with a slit vent, probably contemporary, on either side of it (Ryder 1994-5). (Northumberland HER)
